Read the passage from “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe.

From “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe

Shaking off from my spirit what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity [old age or looking like an antique]. The discoloration of ages had been great. Minute fungi overspread the whole exterior . . . No portion of the masonry [stonework] had fallen; and there appeared to be a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones.
Poe is using two types of organization in this passage: spatial and order of importance. Focusing on order of importance, which phrase represents the most significant detail in this description?


A. No portion of the masonry [stonework] had fallen

Danny's bellowing voice carried across the field. "No! you need to pass the ball! Stop cradling it and pass!"

Danny was the team captain of the lacrosse team. He was one of the best players in the league. He was good, but he could be malicious. That morning, my playing technique was taking the brunt of Danny's harsh criticism.

"You really need to learn to pass better, Finn. you're letting the team down!"

Practice ended, and as Danny strode swiftly back toward the changing rooms, I hung my head and looked down at the green grass of the field. At the start of practice, the lush, green grass had made me smile. I relished being outside and playing lacrosse with my teammates. Sure, many of them were better than me, but I enjoyed the game and being part of a team. I was always the one cheering the loudest for my friends when they threw the ball across the goal line. I wished Danny would cheer for us instead of shouting callous things. It was starting to ruin the game so much for me that I was thinking of quitting.

How does the author prepare the reader for the rest of the story in the introduction?

1. He introduces Danny as a kind character and Finn as a mean character.
2. He introduces Danny as a mean character and Finn as a kind character.
3. He introduces the main character as someone who criticizes too much.
4. He introduces the main character as team captain of a lacrosse team.

Answers

Answer: 2

Explanation: The story states: "I wished Danny would cheer for us instead of shouting callous things. It was starting to ruin the game so much for me that I was thinking of quitting.". This shows that Danny is mean, and brings others down. It would be 3, but Danny isn't the main character.

Hope this helps!

2. as the quotes
“He was good, but he could be malicious. That morning, my playing technique was taking the brunt of Danny's harsh criticism”
and

"I wished Danny would cheer for us instead of shouting callous things. It was starting to ruin the game so much for me that I was thinking of quitting.”
these quotes show that Danny is very harsh and mean. the answer could’ve been 3&4 except Danny is not the main character. He’s the antagonist.
